AudioDeck

A modern, self-hostable web spectrogram analyzer for your music library.

What is AudioDeck?

AudioDeck is a self-hosted web application that lets you visually analyze the audio quality of your music files. Think of it as a web-based, modern version of the classic Spek spectrogram analyzer.

Perfect for checking if your "high-quality" FLAC files are genuine or just upconverted low-quality MP3s.

Why Do I Need This? The Visual Proof

Sometimes audio files aren't what they claim to be. A spectrogram reveals the truth:

| 🟢 Real FLAC (Lossless) | 🔴 Fake FLAC (MP3 > FLAC) | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Spectrogram of a real FLAC file showing full frequency range | Spectrogram of a fake FLAC file showing a 16kHz cutoff | | Full frequency range up to 20-22 kHz | Clear frequency cutoff around 16 kHz | | Rich, detailed spectrum | "Brick wall" effect above cutoff |

If you see a hard cutoff around 16 kHz, someone converted a low-quality MP3 to FLAC. Real lossless audio preserves the full frequency range.
